I believe that generally there is too much focus on numbers and not enough on the positive physical and psychological outcomes that sports participation brings. If young people understood those, they might be more inclined to participate.

By taking children on organised developmental sports trips you ensure that they are not just playing matches, but are training for three to four hours a day. That’s 12-16 hours of coaching and development during a four-day trip, which is equivalent to more than a whole term’s worth of extra-curricular sport and far more likely to interest a student so that they become more engaged and involved with sport.
